I attend the Edmonton Fringe every year and spend quite a bit of time watching the stage shows as well as checking out the live outdoor stages. I rarely check out vendor booths or items because most of them aren't targeted for me, but during the quick walk through something pretty special caught my eye.
There was an artist there who was pasting strips of comic books onto canvas, and then painting characters on TOP of those strips. Several of the originals were there and she also had the mini canvas versions you could buy. Seeing one right up in person blew my mind! The pictures the drew were very 3D and against the comic book panels she had picked they popped like crazy.
I never got the name of the artists, or the company/booth so if you guys have a hunch make sure to comment below. We were in a rush, so I wasn't able to decide on one. They had star wars and marvel...and lots of other ones. But I was mostly going through the Marvel/Star Wars ones (of course). We were quickly coming up to the start of our next show, so I told myself I'd come back to get something but of course it slipped my mind.
Later though, my sister won a Fringe draw and in that basket included 6 of these prints. Star wars for her...meh. Star Wars for me....AWESOME. So she gifted them to me and here's a picture of them for you guys. My favorite two is the Vader and Yoda.
I'm still debating how I'm gonna be displaying these, but I'll find a way to get them up soon for sure!
